business in the King building
On West Main street, “It pays
to advertise” in The Transyl

Bob paid his bill the first of
this month with a smile, and
while handing over the real
cash, asserted that he had
sold more light bulbs during
the month of September than
in any like pei'iod since he
had been in business—several
years.
Having been able to pur
chase several tliousand elec
tric light g-lobe.s made by the
General Electric people at a
small margin of their regular
price, Mr. Tharp put these on
sale at a reduced price, and
advertised this fact through
The Times. Increa.sed sales,
in such proportions that they
made Robert pay liis advertis

result.

“At a recent joint meeting of
the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs and

discussed the advisability of a

create .sentiment for the propaga

vention of ruthless slaughter of
the animals that would soon make
for us a sportman’s paradi.«e.
“These organizations take the
position that Western Carolina’s
interests are so much in common
and that the refuges for fish and
game in the Pisgah National For

selves so admirably to the natural

CERTAINDFIN
Claims Republican Vote Is
Turning To Make Dem
ocratic Victory
Asserting that the ranlc and
file of the Republican party would
join the Democratic forces to
biing about a great Democratic
victory in the coming election,
Judge Phil C. Cocke, prominent
Asheville attorney and Democratic
elector, spoke interestingly and
entertainingly to a large crowd at
the county courthouse Saturday
night.
Judge Cocke declared that the
people “are tired of the faithless
and inefficient leadership of the
Republican party and stand ready
to come to the banners of the
Democratic party and help restore
the nation.” He scored the presi
dent’s stand on. the prohibition
question, in which he asserted that
Hoover was, when in the west or
south a dry, and when in the north
and east standing on a wet plat
form.
He charged that the high tar
iff walls erected by the Republi
can administration had driven in
dustries from the country, and
caused exports and imports from
the United States to fall off,
\^ich was a great factor in the
present depression.
Judge Cocke, in reference to
candidates, that “the Democracy
of North Carolina presents Robert
R. Reynolds as its candidate for
the U. S. senate. He will preserve
the high traditions of a forum in
which has been decided those
questions and policies permanent
ly affecting a world’s existence
and a world’s civilization.” He
said that the people of “his state
have watched with amazement and
increasing interest this meteoric
rise of this talented man. They
have followed him as he came
struggling out of his youth into a
place of useful, masterful, and tri
umphant leadership among men.
‘Our Bob’ will become the 'Prince
Hal’ of the U. >3. senate and will
command the confidence and ad
miration of all its members.”
Mayor Ralph Ramsey, introduc
ed* the speaker, of the evening.
Wm. E. Breese, chairman of the
executive committee, presided and
introduced Judge Sam Cathey, of
Asheville, who spoke in behalf of
the Young People’s Democratic
club.

that no family lived too' far back
in the hills but that he could feel
safe in calling upon Dr, Van Ejvp

Uncle Tom Gash
Asset to Town
One of the interesting charac
ters in Brevard is “Uncle” Tom
Gash, 62-year-old darky of the old
school, who "despite his age and
the fact that things in general are
not as rosy as they once were,
manages to make his way by “do
ing a little of this and a little of
that,” as he puts it, from cutting
wood, digging around the^ard, to
a more skilled work which he re
gards as his art.
Uncle Tom is proficient in the
repairing of umbrellas and chairs.
He- takes most any kind of old
umbj’ella that has lost ijs usefulf
ness by broken ribs, toj'n covers
and other signs of long and hard
service, and makes them ready for
years of turning* rain and hail.
Chairs that have been maltreat
ed, broken rungs, backs awry and
bottoms frayed or completely
missing*, are given over to Uncle
Tom by many people' of the town
for doctoring.
Altogether, with his “little of
this and a little of that” Uncle
Tom manages to keep the wolf
away from the door, pay his
preacher, and do other worthwhile
things that make him a real asset
to Brevard.

Remanded To Jail In De
fault Of $5,000 Bond
Asked
SAID TO HAVE SHOT
U. S. MAIL CARRIER
Is Captured Near Brevard
After Wide Search Had
Been Instituted
Burgess Hogsed, 16-year-old son
of, Mr. and Mrs. Estes Hogsed, of
the Crab Creek section in Hender
son county, was bound to court
under a $5,000 bond Monday
morning by Justice E. P. McCoy
on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to kill.
Unable to furnish bond, the youth
ful defendant was remanded to
jail.
The case grew out of the shoot
ing of R. E. Mackey, of Pisgah
Forest last Thursday morning,
while Mr. Mackey was carrying
mail on the rural route out of Pis-
gah Forest for Tyrell Middleton.
According to Mr. Mackey, he pass
ed a young qnan near the Everett
farm, the young fellow carrying
a gun. Hearing an explosion be
hind him, Mr. Mackey says he lost
control of his senses for a short
time, his car swei'ving into the
ditch beside the road.
In a few moments time he real
ized that he had been injured, and
managed to drive his car to the
home of Perry Orr, a short dis
tance away. Examination by Mr.
Orr and “Virgil McCrary proved
that the mail carrier had been
shot. He was immediately rushed
to the office of Dr. C. L. New'land
where it was found that a buck
shot had penetrated the back of
his head, glancing off the skull
without a fracture.
Sheriff Patton, Deputy Wood
and Chief Freeman went at once
to the scene of the shooting, car
rying a pair of bloodhounds. After
trailing for sometime the trail was
confused and the dogs called off.
Further investigation 'pointed to
ward the Hogsed boy, he having
been seen in the vicinity immedi
ately preceding the time of the
shooting.
A warrant was issued and offi
cers from Brevard and Hender
sonville, together with a number
of citizens, went to the Hogsed
home in Henderson county. There
the gun which tallied with a de
scription of that g-iven the officers
having been in pessession of
young Hogsed earlier' in the day,
was found hidden between mat
tresses on a bed in the home of
the Hogseds, officers said. How-
the alleged assailant had
been gone for some time, and two
brothers of the fugitive were
brought to jail in an effort to
make them talk. Sheriff Wood and
others continued the search while
Sheriff Patton brought his two
prisoners to town and placed
them in jail.
Early in the night a phone call
came from the lower end of the
county advising Sheriff Patton
that the Hogsed boy had been
seen in that vicinity. Going to the
home of Will Owen, a relative of
the family, Hogsed was located,
and offered no resistance to ar
rest, Officers said he readily con
fessed to the shooting when con
fronted with statements that had
been made to the sheriff by the
parents and his two brothers, de
claring that he shot Mr. Mackey
after the mail carrier had crowd
ed him off the road with his car,
the rear fender of the Ford road
ster striking him, he said.
Investigation of the scene of
the shooting failed to verify his
statement in regard to being
struck by the car. The shot which
wounded Mr. Mackey ewdently
was fired from a distance of forty
to fifty yards, and after going
through the rear curtain, passed
through a felt hat before striking
the victim in the head. This is
thought to have prevented a more
serious injury. The shot was alleg
ed to have been fired from a six-
teen-guage single barrel gun, five
shots in all striking the car, sev
eral of which were found in the
Mr. Mackey is reported to be
improving nicely after having-
been treated for his injury.
